Cold Sores

At the worst point of my sickness I was breaking out with cold sores on my lips continually, sometimes with more than one. There are a lot of theories of why they come out and I am sure there is a "trigger" whether it be a food, stress, exposure to the elements or hormones. About 85% of the population carries the herpes simplex I virus, the difference is they have an immune system to keep the virus under control. As I've gotten healthier and started to eat a biblically kosher diet I have seen less and less cold sores. I do have a couple solutions to lessen the cold sore once it has started.

If you only have a cold sore on the lip (doesn't affect the skin around the lip) then pick up some Oil of Oregano. This will stop it before it has a chance to begin. I have been amazed at how well this works.

My second solution is to get a prescription for Acyclovir cream (brand name is Zovirax) made for cold sores. You can pick this up through Candadian Pharmacy's but if I had to get something over the counter I would get an l-lysine cream. Also purchase Dr Scholl's Original Foot Powder.

At the first sign of a developing cold sore when there is local tenderness with a burning or tingling sensation or the beginning of a small bump take a little bit of the Acyclovir cream. Don't pat it on, take it and rub it in really good so the medicine gets in. Then take a little bit of the powder and put it in your palm and using a cotton ball as a powder puff put it right on the cold sore. If I'm not going out I cover it really good and leave it. If I have to go out then I would cover it and brush it off lightly. Keep doing it as often as you remember and as long as you can.
